The influence of hydrology on the dynamics of land-terminating sectors of the Greenland ice sheet
Coupling between runoff, hydrology, basal motion, and mass loss (“hydrology-dynamics”) is
a critical component of the Greenland Ice Sheet system. Despite considerable research …

The extreme yet transient nature of glacial erosion
Ice can sculpt extraordinary landscapes, yet the efficacy of, and controls governing, glacial
erosion on geological timescales remain poorly understood and contended, particularly …

Assessment of the Greenland ice sheet–atmosphere feedbacks for the next century with a regional atmospheric model coupled to an ice sheet model
In the context of global warming, growing attention is paid to the evolution of the Greenland
ice sheet (GrIS) and its contribution to sea-level rise at the centennial timescale. Atmosphere …

Bedforms of Thwaites glacier, west antarctica: character and origin
Abstract Bedforms of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica both record and affect ice flow, as
shown by geophysical data and simple models. Thwaites Glacier flows across the tectonic …

Cascading lake drainage on the Greenland Ice Sheet triggered by tensile shock and fracture
Supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet are expanding inland, but the impact on ice
flow is equivocal because interior surface conditions may preclude the transfer of surface …
